My favorite tricks and treats are: They are great at catching (and eating) flies and other bugs. Marley is accomplished at 'fetch' and can open cupboard doors. and They love tuna, shrimp treats, catnip, chicken, turkey, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, and any food left unattended.

Where I hang out: They like to lounge on their cat tree, cuddled up to pillows on the bed, on top of the kitchen cupboards, in their carriers, in the computer chair, in my wheelchair, on the window ledges etc.

My favorite grubs: They love canned food and treats!

My pet peeves: They don't like to be separated, they don't like the vacuum, and they compete for attention.

What I love about my owners: "She takes good care of us, feeds us, brushes us, gives us treats, and plays with us."

Hi Marley-O and Julius,That sure sounds like a Russian Blue to me. The vet says I'm pretty big for a young lady. I'm laid back if I am with my humans and there aren't any other cats around. I tend to get into fights with the other cats in the family. One thing us Russian Blues tend to do is pick out a family member and claim that person as our human. We follow that person around and favor that person over the other people in the family, although we are still civil to the rest of the family. I chose mom and bonded with her when I was a kitten. It sounds like those kitties have Russian Blue in them, and they sound really cool. Hope you are having a good day. Peppermint

Hello"O" sStill 92/77, 93% humidity.No rain in weeks.Brown lawns and gardens. The kits deal with the hot weather by sleeping all day and pestering dad all nite. This is normal when it is cooler.When dad tried to get water for coffee this morning, Zippi Taz and Missy were yowling in the sink. A frustrated dad turned on the water and got water for his coffee in the bathroom.We are slowly taking over the house except for the payments,meow. The awesome and scary sunshine gang of rancho de los gatos fame

Hi "O" sAnother hot one today,it will be cooler all next week 86/70. Nothing funny happened today so we will just send a howdy and a vote to all our furiends. Purrs and a happy sunday to all. The well behaved sunshine gang

Hi Marley-O and Julius,Thank you so much for such a wonderful message. It makes me feel good that I could spread the word about FIV and how to deal with it. Hopefully, one day, diseases like FIV and FeLv will be eliminated. I did have a wonderful life, especially after my furever family adopted me. I will always be a part of them, forever. Thank you for the compliment on my page. The Irish kitties did the artwork on my picture and they did a beautiful job. I am enjoying my shiny, new badge and want to continue to raise awareness of FIV. Thank you again for your support and your caring. Purrs and Headbonks, Angel Slinky

Hi Marley O, Julius and family,How are you today? I am catpaigning for ACOTD and wanted to take this opportunity to raise awareness of FIV. I have just recently crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge in June of this year due to complications from FIV. I was FIV positive, but was able to live for 6 years with few problems. A cat can be FIV positive and not show symptoms for quite a while. What happens with FIV is that it breaks down the immune system and the body cannot fight off bacteria that a normal body would wipe out easily. FIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus and is similar in some ways to HIV, but in others, is very different.

Humans cannot get FIV, it is only spread to other cats.

FIV is spread through bite wounds from an infected cat, however a pregnant FIV cat can spread it to the kittens in the womb.

There is no cure for FIV.

A cat that is FIV positive may not show any symptoms for a number of years.

When symptoms do show up, they can include weight loss, gingivitis, stomatitis (mouth sores), digestive trouble, kidney trouble and other signs throughout the body.

There is a vaccine available, however it does not cover all strains of FIV and cats that have been vaccinated will show a false positive, meaning the test will indicate it has FIV even though it doesn’t.

Cats kept indoors are much less likely to be infected with FIV.

Cats should be neutered, unneutered male cats are more aggressive, they get in more fights and are at a much higher risk of getting FIV.

FIV-infected cats should be kept indoors, they should be fed a balanced diet, should not eat raw foods such as meat and eggs and should visit their vet for wellness checks.

We got most of this info from Cornell’s site on FIV and from Wikipedia and from information our vets gave us.

Mom took a lot of pictures of me because my time was limited. If you like, you can see my scrapbook at 14037. You all have a wonderful day. Angel Slinky

Box of asperins on the floor,Missy up now sitting in the sink watching. More bags,OG is now on the counter sniffing thru the bags. Missy walking thru now. Take some things out of the bag, Zippi has paws around dads hands, Taz is pushing the butter across the counter,OG is yowling, Missy back in sink. Dad leaves kitchen. POP..Click,scrape.(Fancy Feast can opening.)The gang is bunched. Dad returns quickly to the kitchen as the gang will return when the food is gone. Put away groceries with a big smile.Will dad return to the cabinet? Will the gang return to the scene of the deception? Will Missy ever get out of the sink. Stay tuned for another exciting adventure from As The Rancho Turns. Brought to you by the Sunshine gang and dadcat Jim, with a vote

Hey there M & J!Well, Wilber Wilby was abandoned as a wee pup on a freezing cold rainy 3 day weekend in early February. He was crying and hiding out on the cul de sac we live on. Everyone was concerned and tried to figure out where he came from, offering food and shelter. He was too terrified to trust anyone but kept running up to Mom & Dad's porch crying as if he wanted in. They would open the door and he'd run away to hide under cars. He was so small and short haired everyone was worried about his survival. Finally, after 2 nights outside, he cried to Mom to take him. She quickly took him to the area vet that does shelter work where it was discovered he had no microchip, no id, and barely about 9 weeks estimate. Being an apparent min pin/chi mix, the vet concluded he was probably dumped and would not have made it outside much longer. Mom then posted online (shelter lost and found), filed a found report at city pound & shelter and posted on Craigslist, double checking with all area lost postings on shelter, craigslist and vet's office. In the meantime, Mom fed him and potty trained him. He quickly decided our Mom was his Mom! After a few weeks, Mom agreed with the vet to adopt him. He received all his shots and thrived in our home. We saved his baby teeth too! In late July, he had his big boy surgery at which time he was microchipped. His name Wilber Wilby Hernandez is due to his namesake -- William Wilberforce of England who helped abolish slavery in England and also championed humane treatment of animals! Of course, Hernandez he got from our Dad! We're just glad he is smaller than us! Also, we like sampling his food sometimes even though we have our own! Hugs, Fidel & Che!

Enjoy your summer walks!Dear Marley O & Julius! It was great hearing from you. That is great that you are both leash training and walking around the neighborhood being neighborly! That is so cool! There was a puppy abandoned in our neighborhood early February so Mom had to feed him. You can guess what happened next! Yup! We now have a barking brother, Wilber Wilby. At least he is smaller than us, and we like it that way!! We watch him on a leash and harness. When we were kittens Mom tried it on us but we weren't too cooperative. We preferred the stroller!!! Good thing your Mom isn't crocheting for you. Our puppy has short hair and when it is cool he has to wear a t-shirt or something. He thinks he's tough when he sports his black Harley Davidson t-shirt! Keep on rockin' and give us a meow when you get a break from life! Hugs, Fidel & family!

Hello Marley O & Julius!Hey fellas! Just wanted to wish you both a wonderful summer day! Hope you are both well. We are enjoying a nice break from summer heat. Our windows are open and we are enjoying a nice breeze along with listening to the pretty songs of the birdies in our backyard! Purrs, Fidel & family!

Boys...What a nice surprise your visit is! We're guilty of not being on CC as much, so we underestand not blogging. Congrats to your mom for all her hard work in with schooling - oh so very important, you know! Mom is on summer break - school around here begins the end of August. Me, I'm hiding under the bed because the plasterers are here, but Robbie is helping them. He's using his tail to put a nice pattern on the walls :-) Robbie is trained on a leash, but me, I'm waaay too proud to be seen in such a silly contraption. I get to go out on supervised trips to the yard, and I'm happy with that. Good luck with your training! Keep in touch...Muffin

Hi O'sDad woke this morning at 600 am, Zippi was chasing her tail by dads head. Yesterday Taz woke him at 400 am making biscuits on his back.It has been rainy and gloomy all week, but only in the low 80's. Dad is going to the club tonight if it doesnt rain. He had a brother in the club who is a sniper in Afganastan. His Humvee was hit by a car bomber and his partner was killed. He sustained injuries too. We are waiting to see if he is coming home. This is his 4th purple heart.We think he has done enough.Time for a sunshine gang nap. Purrs and a vote from all of us.

Mornin GuysWho is the cotm candidate, no one told us. Dad was outside planting flowers and working in the yard. He came in all stinky and wet. He chased us all, picking us up one at a time and rubbing us with his wet shirt, yuk, yuk. We will get back at him.Dad also had a party here last nite. When he got up this morning, no noise, no kitties.OMG where are they. OG and Zippi were in the garage, Missy was on the porch. Taz was no where in sight. We looked thru the house and finally found her in the a/c closet asleep on the shelf.Dad is shining up his cabinet as it took a beating last nite,mol. Purrs, hugs and a vote fur ya. The sunshine gang

Hi GuysIt is so hot, we think our dad is losing weight. Missy escaped last night into a heavy rain. Dad chased her around the yard and gave up. She was soaking wet sitting outside the door, but ran off when the door was opened. Finally dad cracked the door and opened a fancy feast can. He was knocked down by a wet black and white rocket. The rest of the crew has been busy tearing up the house. OG, upside down somewhere. Taz and Zippi playing tag and wall running. Dad has been drinking lots of fluids because of the heat. (any excuse for a frosty beverage.)Rain again for today. Dad has planted alot of flowers so he wants the rain. Purrs and hugs to all from the sunshine gang

HI Marley-O & JuliusThanks for the vote & Congrats on COTD 6/18. I'm so sorry it took me so long to get the thank yous out. Mommy was unusually super busy Thursday & Friday, THEN had computer problems Saturday and this morning!!! It was NOT a great weekend. But I am furever grateful for all my CC furiends that voted for me and/or congratulated me. Elvis

Nice to hear from you guysBeen in the upper 90's the past 2 weeks, today was cooler at 86. Things are going great here, hope all is well with you. Another hot one here.Dad was gone all day to the armed forces day, they had a great time. Dad washed the kitchen floor yesterday. Tonite when he came home there was. 2 pens, 3 notes off the fridge, 3 large furballs, and two vomit places.
